Any comments on playing the xylophone vs. marimba or glockenspiel? Actually, MalletKat makes a xylophone midi controller which would be interesting to hear.

    Holy list, Batman. Sounds like you would have to really try to use everything on one album. (if indeed you are making albums)
1. Why both Cakewalk and Ableton? Which is better?
2. Do you sequence the softsynths via Cakewalk or Ableton?

I actually use them for different types of writing:
 
- For straight-ahead prog, fusion, pop, etc. - I'll use Sonar Producer Ed. 6
 
- For electronica, I'll use either Project 5 (if I want to use external softsynths) or Reason 3 (just to approach it from a different "completely self-contained" angle)
 
- For orchestral music or Zappa-esque dense theory-driven stuff, I'll use Notion - it forces me to look at every note and its place in the grand scheme of things
 
- For doing remix stuff and precise beat matching, nothing beats Live 6!  I'm just learning Live, barely scratching the surface - but geting some cool results...

I have a cheap Yamaha PSR-170 keyboard that I got for christmas several years ago. I rarely play on it it anymore though, since I really are a drummer.

Used to have a 1969 Hammond L102 and a Leslie 145, also a Hammond T102 and a Leslie 715. I can play a bit and could make most of the appropriate prog noises with them but realisation that I wasn't Keith Emerson and a house move meant that they are no more. The L102 and 145 went to France.
When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

I've got a Roland HP-20 Piano Plus from the early 80s, only has 2 sounds and no midi or anything but a decent sounding piano with a 5 octave keyboard isn't to bad for £30 Big smile

Pity I can't play very well.

My problem, too - I can make the necessary noises on thr L122/145 & even had lessons for a couple of years (at least I can now read music to an extent), but unless you're actually playing with other people (an experience I only had the once), there's precious little incentive to play the cheese my tutor used in my lessons. I've not played for some time now - partly due to other interests, partly everyday "stuff" & partly (I admit it) due to the idiot box in the corner - but I cannot bear to think of selling the beast (also, Vicky keeps reminding me she bought the Leslie, so it's not mine to sell )...

One day, I hope to get back into it...

As you don't play it, perhaps you could give your Hammond to me as a Christmas gift? Big smile

I did try to send it to you, but it wouldn't fit in the envelope...

I have:
Vox Continental 1969,
Korg Micro-Preset M500SP 1976,
Korg Poly61 1983,
Roland Juno 60 1984,
Korg Poly800 1984,
Roland JV90 1994,

and numerous softsynths including Arturia MoogModularV (my favourite) , NI b4 and NI pro53.

I played loads of different keyboards from old organs to modern workstations. However, I never laid my hands on any Moog. Never. Unhappy
Percussion, sir!
